United States Representative Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) attempted to be clever on Twitter early Wednesday evening but instead was met with derision and ridicule.
Boebert, an outspoken right-wing conservative, posted a picture of Earth containing only a crudely-cropped image of the lower forty-eight states surrounded by water along with a caption that reads: "map showing the only place my taxes should go."
Boebert added her own text as well, stating that "sometimes a meme says it best."
Social media observers wasted no time pointing out the follies in Boebert's tweet.
Keith Olbermann: "Or, a GIF, when a US Congresswoman forgets Alaska and Hawaii are states and there are places like Puerto Rico:" [Chef Gordon Ramsey calling a cook "a stupid sandwich"]
MNay: "Sorry Hawaii & Alaska…bobo doesn’t want to help you."
Stephanie Liebergen: "Alaska? Hawaii? Guam? Puerto Rico? US Virgin Islands?"

MaggieMay: "Umm … you forgot a couple of things. Hawaii and Alaska entered the chat …"
Tony Posnanski: "I know you failed your GED four times before having someone else take it for you, but in 1959, Alaska and Hawaii became US States. I don't want to get into Puerto Rico or other territories of the US as it might be a touch advanced for you."
Khary Penebaker: "What amazes me is how confident your stupidity is."
Bill Brady: "Xenophobic at best. Isolationist dictatorial at worst. Also not Christ-like. Look the words up, dear. I'll wait."
dave_shebroe The Clubhouse: "So she's saying FU to Alaska and Hawaii?"
